	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"One of the truest, most luminous love stories ever made (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Vincent Canby The New York Times	"It's a movie of such extraordinary intimacy that it has the effect of breaking into mysterious components many things we ordinarily accept without thought"	POS
United Kingdom	Geoff Andrew Time Out	"An exhaustive study of the doubt, despair, confusion and loneliness experienced by a woman"	POS
United States	Don Druker Chicago Reader	"Bergman's screenplay leaves nothing to the imagination and turns the film into a windy soap opera most of the time (...) Disappointing."	NEG
United States	Courtney Fitzgerald Austin Chronicle	"Through uncomfortable dialogue and chamber-play staging, we see that honesty isn't easy and that expectations for faultless love only disappoint. The result, in both film and love, is imperfect and earthly."	NEU
